    fe I). F. Vengerti / ( oo - Mr. Fr&tik strong Mr. J. P. Mack Mr. John Snorf) ve bve been rebelling' & f» complaint# re­cently regarding a *imcdlc$t9& taste11 in the water, The Mi tor of the newspaper phoned ®e and -we scoured apples from, his home for baoteriologlofel and chemical analyses. Both the reports from the local Board' of Health and from hr* B&rr slewed clear. L&s Veg&e - March 19 $ 19*»8 > 23- 3-3 . . Farther complaint® were received this morning and we inspected the chlorinator at the open spring m ' being the only source that; could, contribute this taste. . The float valve on the chlorine* tor has a ten­dency to stick open, probably due to sane! lodged beneath the seat' and when this occurs an excessive charge of chlorine runs into the vat s*, especially at night when "-.*elX Ho. 3 is shut dovr. The complaints coincide ex­actly with the instances when the float valve is found open, till you please arrange to have a new float valve installed. ? The manhole cover inside the pump home is broken and decayed and should be replaced, flit redwood below the floor of the pump house shows considerable condensation, creating & sweetish decayed odor, which could probably b® eliminated by providing a means of ventilation in the pit. The open spring is overgrown with dried •toolies* which should be removed .the first time the drag-line is in this vicinity. mm . ?'••• ,v i-? ] r ' v/' ? :Itmm Jii ‘ ' v, • m H M § S •: i§ K-:': m ' ' ••' ' '• ' ;•••••• t / ?
